Pete Coratti studied the culinary art of Neapolitan pizza in Italy before returning home to bring that knowledge and expertise back to Michigan. He envisioned converting an empty call center in downtown Howell into a destination diners gather in and enjoy authentic wood-fired pies.
An MEDC Match on Main grant helped Pete purchase kitchen equipment, specialized ovens and interior fixtures for the space. This investment not only turned a vacant building into a local favorite, but it gave Pete the foundation to expand into new locations in Ann Arbor and Lansing.
